Shi Jin lowered his head slightly, "My lord, today I was patrolling the city as usual, and when I walked to Qingzhu Lane, I suddenly heard the sound of fighting inside, and after entering, I found that the Zhou brothers were besieging Ren Hong in a courtyard, so I hurriedly stepped forward to stop the fight." ” "Have you figured out the situation at the scene?"
"I've been following adults for so long, and of course I know what to do in the first place.
At that time, although Zhou Yingluo had been sent to the hospital, the walls were covered with her bloodstains, and the bloodstains had dried thoroughly, like pieces of lacquer, which was very scary, and I had already made it clear to adults. ” Cheng Muyou nodded, and then asked, "What about Ren Hong's oil drum?"
” "Oil drums?"
Shi Jin was a little puzzled.
"Did you touch it?"
"The subordinates must follow the instructions of the adults, and they must touch and see everything on the scene, and of course they will not let go of those two oil drums."
"What about the temperature?"
"Temperature?"
"Is the oil drum warm or cold?"
"Warm."
Cheng Muyou thought for a while, and then looked at Ren Hong, "You just said that you took off the cotton wool wrapped around the oil drum when you got to the yard, right?"
” Ren Hong didn't understand what he was asking for, so he had to answer honestly, "It's very cold now, and I'm afraid that the oil will not be easy to sell, so I put cotton wool on the outside of the barrel, and when I get home, I want to untie the cotton wool." ” Cheng Muyou nodded, "Ren Hong, I believe that Zhou Yingluo was not harmed by you, you can go back." ” Hearing him say this, the Zhou family suddenly exploded, and a few even stood up, "My lord, how can you let him go, who is he or not, just now you also sent someone to ask the old man Zhu at the entrance of the alley, and he said that no one came in the alley this afternoon."
"It is precisely because I sent someone to ask Uncle Zhu that I have doubts about your statement, the old man said that Ren Hong came back with an oil drum not long before the incident, but Zhou Yingluo's blood stains proved that she was injured two hours ago, coupled with the temperature of the oil drum, it confirmed my idea even more, just imagine, how can an oil drum without cotton wool wrap still warm in such cold weather?
These witnesses and physical evidence have proved a conclusion: Zhou Yingluo was injured long before Ren Hong came back, and Ren Hong was by no means a murderer. ” Although the Zhou family didn't want to believe it, they were dumbfounded by what he said, and after a while, Zhou Yingluo's father Zhou Qian suddenly knelt down, and the momentum just now turned into two turbid tears, "My lord, please be sure to catch the wicked person who hurt the little girl, and uphold justice for the grass people, Yingluo is only seven years old."
Cheng Muyou's eyes were blazing, "Don't worry, that person dares to have evil thoughts about a young girl, if he is not arrested, won't Xin'an City be disturbed by him." ” Ren Hong and the Zhou family left one after another, and Xin'an Mansion, which had been lively for a day, returned to tranquility, but Cheng Muyou did not retreat for a long time, sitting alone at the table and pondering.
The moonlight shone in coldly, pulling his lonely shadow to the elder.
Jiang Xixi walked in, "My lord, are you still worried about today's three cases?"
” "These three cases look different on the surface, but they are inextricably linked on the inside.
All of them committed crimes, but no suspects could be found, and these three suspects should not be mortals.
Although no one saw the suspect in the Zhou family's case, the old man Zhu said that no one had come to the alley in the afternoon, which shows that the person came and went without a trace, and he was by no means an ordinary person.
Cheng Muyou sighed lowly, "The living are easy to find, where can ghosts be found." ” "Why don't I ask Miss Yan?
She is already proficient in the Five Elements Dao Method, and she is born with intelligence, so she should be able to help us. ” Cheng Muyou raised his eyes, "It's a pity, you seem to have changed your opinion of her, you always reminded me to be wary of her half a year ago, why do you want to ask her for advice now?"
” Jiang Xixi pursed her lips and smiled, "Although she hides a lot of things in her heart, she is clear about right and wrong, and her mind is clear, and ah, she still doesn't miss the old hatred and saves me from danger, so it is naturally difficult for me to have a bad feeling for her anymore." ” Cheng Muyou smiled indifferently, "What if she also has her own purpose in saving you?"
” Jiang Xixi pursed her mouth, "My lord, I have already said that the game between you smart people, I don't know how to play and I don't want to participate, I only know that someone has saved me, I can no longer speak ill of each other, speculating on people's hearts, I Jiang Xixi can only do my own not regrets, as for others, I can't control it." ” Cheng Muyou stood up and stretched his muscles, "Okay, then let's go to your savior and see what she thinks about these cases." ” "What?
Miss Yan, she doesn't want to see anyone?
Hearing that his right ear bluntly rejected his request, Jiang Xixi couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"My girl is in a bad mood, and even the embroidery village hasn't opened for a few days."
The head in the right ear squeezed out of the crack in the door, clearly not intending to invite them in.
"However, there are a few cases" "Could it be that before my girl came, Xin'an Mansion would not handle the case?"
A monkey face wrinkled in his right ear, "Okay, you guys go quickly, the porridge in my pot is almost dry, so I won't talk to you anymore."
As he spoke, he closed the door in front of the two of them, and the sound of the door closing was unusually loud in the silent alley.
Cheng Muyou looked at Jiang Xixi's stunned appearance, and felt a little funny in his heart, "It's closed, it seems that your benefactor is not so warm-blooded." ” Jiang Xixi laughed embarrassedly twice, "Miss Yan is a woman after all, and some small emotions are normal, I will come to her again tomorrow, she will definitely see me." ” However, for three days, Jiang Xixi didn't even enter the door of Jihong Embroidery Village, and the rhetoric in his right ear still didn't change, just "Miss Yan is in a bad mood", and then asked, he kept silent, asked when he could meet, and replied, "Look at the girl's mood," In short, Jiang Xixi's self-confidence was fading little by little, and she felt that Cheng Muyou's eyes had become sympathetic, so she regretted saying a big thing in front of him that day.
There is still no clue about the three cases, after the portraits were hung out, there were a lot of onlookers, but none of them came to report the case, everyone was talking about the monsters in Xin'an City, and people's hearts were also very unstable because of these portraits.
However, fortunately, there were no more difficult and miscellaneous cases in the following days, so people's mood changed from nervous to curious, and they were all discussing who these criminals were.
On this day, the right ear came back from shopping for vegetables outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yan Niang sitting in the courtyard drinking with a wine jar in one hand and a wine cup in the other.
He was annoyed for a moment, and walked over and snatched her cup, "Drink like this early in the morning, are you going to be a fairy?"
